If I am not then I get myself into situations where He has to either bail me out or discipline me. It is much easier to just lean into Him all the time and stay in the center of His will. <BR/><BR/>LeahLeah Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888422138033372220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646396.post-46238500734329772442008-07-29T21:54:00.000-04:002008-07-29T21:54:00.000-04:00I love your son's answers, they sound so much like...I love your son's answers, they sound so much like what my son would have said!

Your words struck my heart especially: "Let Him breathe life into whatever situation is consuming your thoughts and breaking your heart." Breaking my heart...just to hear that from another brought such comfort in my broken heart. I know He's there. I'm so glad He does want us to be high maintenance yet I somehow feel I'm failing Him by not being "happy" enough or rather content and at peace during my heart break. <BR/><BR/>You are a true gem, Joy.<BR/>PaulaPaula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646396.post-15170883347025853452008-07-28T14:10:00.000-04:002008-07-28T14:10:00.000-04:00Beautiful post Joy.

I fear I give in to too many thoughts at times that are contrary to the "new creation" that I am to be walking out. Learning to take thoughts captive----HUGE need for me. To stop and not react but to turn to Him is my goal. Your son thinks he's funny doesn't he, evidence in your cooking. lolpamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741559479032449072noreply@blogger.com
